You want to know who I really am?
M:...you hurt him pretty badly. Everyone makes mistakes, but I think you shattered his confidence in humanity. He's a big teddy bear with an iron shell around him.
A:He did the same to me. I mean, we literally broke each other down into a million pieces. I just wanted to put his back together, but he let mine blow away in the wind.
M:I understand that. Believe me, I'm feeling it now. Right now, I don't think either of us want anything to do with any girl anywhere.
A:...he's dating a girl.
M:You know that she doesn't matter. They hardly talk, and when they do, it's 'empty.' I think you and him have real conversations. It's not the same with her...
Mike always makes me feel better about everything. Even though I don't want things to change... he makes me realize that the terms we're on aren't as bad as I think they are.
